Jesse Lingard suffers rib fractures at Corinthians

Corinthians has confirmed that English forward Jesse Lingard has sustained small fractures in his sixth and seventh ribs. The club announced that the player has begun intensive recovery treatment and will be monitored daily by the medical department.

To prevent further injury, Lingard will continue training at the club's facilities but will be prohibited from participating in any physical contact exercises with teammates. The club has not yet established a specific timeline for his return to full training or match play.

Lingard was already set to miss the upcoming match against Mirassol due to an automatic suspension following a third yellow card received during a recent loss to Vasco. His availability for the subsequent derby against São Paulo remains uncertain and will depend on his medical evolution.
